Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney , the Republican presidential nominee in 2012, told a meeting of donors Friday that he is considering another White House bid in 2016, people present said.

The possibility of a third Romney bid could upend the emerging GOP field, coming as top Republican donors are starting to rally behind former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.

Mr. Romney made the remarks during a session Friday afternoon -SNIP-

But she never goes. She always comes back to use FR as her personal propaganda outlet for the GOP and causes us to fight her lies rather than get our collective shit together, on one page and fighting the problem.

The more RINOS we have, the better, in order to split the RINO vote and ease the way for the only candidate that matters, Ted Cruz to win the nomination and the presidency.

I think you're still not hearing what I'm saying.

When I spoke of "ideological purity" I was not using it in the sense that the GOP establishment an talking heads use it. I was speaking strictly in terms of litmus tests that effect the logjam of otherwise presentable candidates from the conservative wing of the party. If you were paying attention the last two times around, it was exhausting.

What ended up happening was we had three or four acceptable challengers to Romney on the right. Every time one of them put and daylight between himself and the rest, the other two or three and his (or her) supporters ganged up on the frontrunner. That's how we ended up with Romney, and its how Reagan would probably lose the nomination in today's climate. Any time he built a lead, the debate would focus on his amnesty and abortion history, and he'd be done.

When Reagan ran in 1980, he was the conservative alternative to George Bush, John Anderson, Bob Dole and Howard Baker. That's not what we have today. The pack is on the right. The outlier is in the middle.

What "got us Romney" was the constant and repeated annihilation of every single conservative front runner. He was the last man standing.

Romney was the last man standing because his paid attack dogs underhandedly destroyed every decent conservative running.

And so what if he was the 'last man standing'? He was never qualified to represent the vast majority of center-right voters to begin with. His dismal record in office is proof of that.

Whose standard bearer was he, really? Truly think about it.

Why Romney ever called himself a Republican to begin with, is a total mystery. Everything he did in office was indistinguishable from what any liberal Democrat would have done.

Yup.

She should change the last sentence on her FR profile page.

“My main intent is to see all liberals defeated in elections, replaced by conservatives”

Not put in practice as she is pushing Romney.

T’s about time the GOPe has three wannabes dividing the big donors’ cash and moderate sport. Now if conservatives could come up with one candidate fairly quickly he would have a chance....but that will never happen.

Please cite factual references for your delusions...if you have any.

Spoken like a true LibRINO troll.

I give you documented facts of Romney's acts while in office, and you reply with an incomprehensibly childish taunt.

Can't wait to attend your zotting.

Plus Romney’s money kept out serious candidates in both primaries, that won’t be the case this time, for better or for worse, there are some big boys involved in this next race.

With Romney’s 20 year history of losing elections, broken by a single under 50% victory that resulted in no chance for reelection, he is not the political giant that some of his people think he is.

I also never said that Ansell. Clearly we did support Reagan in 1980.

What I said was that he'd have a much more difficult time doing so today. This is a significant distinction. If you're confused, or having a difficult time understanding, please just say so and perhaps I can help you appreciate the difference.

Sounds like someone doesn’t like being told of homosexual judge appointing, homosexual marriage instituting, gun banning, tax raising romneycare Romney’s record.

Not only does s/he not approve of the truth, s/he replies with mocking taunts (conveniently leaving out any rebutting facts to counter mine).

Sign of a real GOP-e troll.

Two open Romneybots lying like a hurricane and no lightning.

I think the Kitties are snoozing. Perhaps we should wake them.

Well, as long as she has a platform, I can’t blame her for using it. And I agree with you. I’d say, do say and will continue to say often and loudly that Shes a liar, wrong on her politics (her actual politics) and her actions here.

But we can’t really blame a liberal for doing what liberals do if they arent put in their place for doing it.
